History of Stirling
Stirling was the ancient capital of Scotland, where Robert the Bruce held a parliament in 1326. Originally a Stone Age settlement, Stirling has been strategically significant since at least the Roman occupation of Britain, due to its naturally defensible crag and tall hill, where Stirling Castle is located. Stirling’s location at the geographical heart of Scotland and with the lowest crossing point of the River Forth, had strategic importance. Having a royal castle strengthened Stirling and led to economic growth, but it also made it a target of English invasions. Willim Wallace defeated the English at Stirling Bridge in 1297 and in 1314 Robert the Bruce’s battle with the English gave Scotland victory over King Edward II at Bannockburn, on the outskirts of the city of Stirling. In recent years Stirling’s historical importance, together with its innovative development, has been recognised by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II who marked her Golden Jubilee the throne by officially declaring Stirling to be Scotland’s newest city on 24 May 2002.
3.斯特灵的历史
斯特灵是古苏格兰的首府，罗伯特布鲁斯曾于1326年在斯特灵举行议会。斯特灵最初是石器时代遗址，由于其天然的防御性峭壁和高山(斯特灵城堡位于高山上)，至少从罗马入侵英国以来就具有重要的战略意义。斯特灵位于苏格兰中心地带和Forth河的最低交叉点，有其战略重要性。皇家城堡强化了斯特灵，促进了斯特灵的经济增长，但也让斯特灵成为英国入侵的目标。威廉华莱士于1297年在斯特灵大桥抵御英国人，而罗伯特布鲁斯于1314年在斯特灵郊区Bannockburn和英国人的战斗，则促成了苏格兰对爱德华二世的胜利。近年来，斯特灵的历史重要性，连同它的创新发展，已经得到了女王伊丽莎白二世的认可。伊丽莎白女王在2002年5月24日的50周年纪念会上正式宣布斯特灵为苏格兰最新的城市。
